Re: RACK & ROLL Reaction
Tomorrow I'd like to try this: stand near the Rack (e.g., at station 1) holding a Ringer. Have two students stand near other parts of the Rack (stations 4 and 6) and randomly bump the bottom or middle Spider Arm Plates, while I try to put the Ringer on a Spider Arm at my station, using one hand.
I'm thinking this is going to be a test of my reaction time. And I'm thinking it would also test a driver's reaction time to try the same feat using a robot. I'm thinking that the CMU camera will only be able to tell the robot the time-average location of the swinging Spider Arm Plates.
I'm thinking that Rack scoring will be hard.

I believe in intuition and inspiration. Imagination is more important than knowledge. For knowledge is limited, whereas imagination embraces the entire world, stimulating progress, giving birth to evolution. It is, strictly speaking, a real factor in scientific research.
